The problem though, is that most companies use some sort of computerized sorting of initial apps. You could tick the "I've got a 4 year degree" box, which you do, sort of and then have to explain it an interview or you don't tick that box and never get called.
Thanks for the insight and information guys.

I've almost resigned to the fact that I'm going to have to sign up for some online University course to merely fill up the credit requirements.

Kenny, I'm very interested in your situation. You mind letting me know which NACES member you chose to have it accredited? I noticed the accreditation service was merely of advisory in nature; if it needs be, I'm willing to try another member of the NACES. The UK and Aussie education system are very similar so I don't see why it's not in the same boat.

Thanks again.
